CAMCO Capital Acquisitions Management Co rude ripoff Rockford Illinois
I received a letter from CAMCO stating I owed $3200+. I called to ask what this was for. "Eric Weaver" was very reluctant to give me any info, but tried to "settle" the claim for $815. I repeatedly asked him what the debt was for, all he would say is that it was a consumer loan from 1989. I told him I did not think it was mine. I called back the next day and asked for more info, all he gave me was an ex-roomates name. I began to think she may have used my identity to get a loan. I told him I needed proof the debt was mine. He kept getting more rude and more insistent that I "settle".
I called back another day and spoke to Ms. "Jill Smith". She said she would get back with me last Friday. She did not. She was going to provide the documentation on this "loan". She also reduced the settlement to $359.
I received a call from "Eric Weaver" again today. I asked him why Jill had not called me back. He said he needed to settle my account NOW. I told him NO, not until I get back up documentation to prove that the debt was legitimate.
He forwarded my call to his "manager", who tried to con me into giving them a post dated check. I told him no way until I get the documentation. He was very condisending and rude. He said unless I gave him the check info, the settlement was "Off" and I would owe the original amount of $3200. I hung up on him.

Camco Lying Idiots Prey on the uninformend
#2Consumer Suggestion
Tue, April 01, 2003
A few months back my wife was in tears over a phone call she recived From Eric Weaver Of Camco.
The Little p***k told her He was a collections Detective and that she was in danger of going to prison for 2 bad checks written to ventures 18 years ago even though they had been settled through a Bankrupcy court.
He had purposely lead her to belive he was a law enforcment official.
i called him back to get details and immeadetly found out it was a collection agency at first he Refused to talk to me said he would only discuss it with her.
i informend him i handled all money matters(not True my wife gets all the money) and if he wanted to resolve this he would talk to me. He Tried the Law enforcment routine with me first what he wanted me to belive was she was going to prison in Ill. for somthing that happenend in Kansas.
I informend him it was against the law to impersanate a police officer and that i was going to report him. and that the debt was to old and there was nothing he could do and to kiss my A@# as of today there has been nothing its not on my credit they dont call any more stand firm with these people intimidation is what they are going for they want people they can scare into paying money they get these collection leads from old credit reports thats why the information is always so sketchie
so once again camco up yours send them a letter demanding no contact and report them
